General Info
The National Pork Board has responsibility for Checkoff-funded research, promotion and consumer information projects, as well as for communicating with pork producers and the public. Through a legislative national Pork Checkoff, pork producers invest 40 cents for each $100 value of hogs sold. Pork importers also invest a comparable amount. The Pork Checkoff funds national and state programs in advertising, consumer information, retail and food service marketing, export market promotion, production improvement, producer education, research, technology, swine health and pork safety. The National Pork Board is located in Clive, Iowa.
